Goodbye Operation Iraqi Freedom, Welcome Operation New Dawn

Say goodbye to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Effective Sept. 1, the war in Iraq will acquire a new official moniker: “Operation New Dawn.”

Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the move Wednesday in a memo to Gen. David Petraeus, chief of U.S. Central Command, that was first reported by ABC News.

In the brief, one-paragraph memo, a copy of which also went to Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gates said the name change is designed to coincide with “the change of mission for U.S. forces in Iraq.” (link)

Is this why we are getting out of Iraq?

If you’re thinking about joining the Military or the USAF, this song defines how the life in the Air Force really is…

“Step down into sand, water carries us from here”

After signing that paper, they take you where ever they need you but its up to you to make the best out of it. Don’t let them carry you away, you can step out of the sand because you’re still in charge of your life and your career.

I didn’t know this jet could hover like a Harrier. But for $112 million, it probably should? The coolest feature is the heads-up display inside the helmet instead of on top of the dashboard. The pilot simply looks down (as if the plane wasn’t there), and the pilot sees what’s beneath him. Incredible.

Holy Crap, Basra doesn’t look like a shithole anymore. It was not too long ago when I had to sleep in a coffin (photo). We were one of the first USAF troops in Basra before the US forces took command. It was fun hanging out and working with British Forces.

Did you know that South Korea is the first country to market 3DTV and also the first country to broadcast HD 3D on terresrial channels? (source) Too bad for us here at Kunsan Air Base, all we get is AFN and they don’t even broadcast my favorite shows on HD. What do you think of 3DTV?
